The wave server makes an HTTP request to your robot, provides all of the details of the event in the request, and your robot returns an HTTP response that contains the operations your robot wishes to perform in response to that event. You only get one set of operations per event, and all of those must be returned and processed at once. You can't sleep between incremental updates, because the incremental updates are all sent as one set of operations, and you're just delaying when those operations get sent back to the server. > Is anyone familiar with a technique I can use to get my robot to > incrementally add the words of the question to the document it's > writing and have the document visibly change with each addition? > You could use a cron job for this: http://wave-robot-python-client.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pydocs/waveapi.robot_abstract.Robot-class.html I would worry that the timing of this may not be consistent enough at the rate you're likely to want the blip updated.
